The Friday Thread

Work. Got a large RFP on my plate. I may need to put some time into it over the weekend.
Also received some pedal parts today as well as winter rims and tires for the wife's car.
So, those need to go on soon as do the winter boots for my car.
My wife wants to got out tomorrow night, too. Maybe.
The garage is half empty now with the NewYorker in storage. So, there's room to tidy things up in there. Dammit.

I'm installing Windows 8 as I type.
 
I'm just glad it's Friday night.

Tomorrow, work on my solo some more. Figure out all my NFL bets. Relax.

Sunday, go to the sportsbook in the morning, then be a lazyass most the rest of the day. :embarrassed:
 
Today - take Mrs W for lunch since I've barely seen her all week and won't see her again this weekend - corporate holiday party 4-7 tonight and actually home by about 9.

Saturday - work, Blue Beet gig at night

Sunday - At El Borrachitos all day in Burbank to record
 
Tamara's folks are coming over today...sadly, they are bringing Tam's niece & nephew...both wee tots.
yeah, I'm in the mood for little kids in my house :snooty:
I've only met the kids the one time, and that was enough to last a lifetime.

needless to say, they will NOT be seeing the toy room.
in fact, I may make them stay in the porch.

doesn't help that I'm hungover as all fuck.
 
I've got some writing (both prose and music) to do. I also would like to play Xbox for a bit and get caught up on Sons of Anarchy.
 
Today - home, waiting for 3-12 shift to start, with a conference call at 3. Playing my Midtown right now :cool:

Tomorrow - work 3-12.

Sunday - off. Gonna take sis-in-law to Bass Pro (her favorite store) and lunch as a reward on her progress at her work group. Also gonna torture myself and watch the Bears game.
 
Tonight: going to a Founders Brewery takeover at a local pub, then to Troegs to try the Belgian tripel they just tapped. Beer night.

Tomorrow: no plans really, probably clean up the house a bit and go see Lincoln that night.

Sunday: football during the day, then going to see Reverend Horton Heat at a new bar/venue they just opened downtown... should be awesome.
 
Prevented a neighbor from getting robbed, so it looks like a positive weekend with great weather.

Bought a cheap yet highly popular bass practice amp from MF using their 15% off coupon, an Acoustic B20 1X12 for $139.99 delivered free.
They email me it is on back order for a week. :( I know, small bass amps have no stage power, but I'll do it right if I ever need something for gigs. All the Craig's List amps are crap lately.

Work today. Fairly quiet. We wrapped up a response to a huge Request For Proposal yesterday and it got handed in today.
I took a break and put up the garland over the garage doors.

Saturday - I think we're having company in the evening. I'm really not sure. It's this week or next.

Sunday - no plans that I know of.
 
had to restrain myself from killing Tamara's nephew.
damn kid simply does NOT listen.

thankfully, they weren't here long.
though I'm sure I've got more grey hair now than I did this morning.

the niece was very well-behaved though
 
Today - my son has a Karate demonstration and then a gig at the Blue Beet. Last gig for the year

Saturday - just work

Sunday - back to El Borrachitos to record more for the album :)
 
Tonight: leaving work early, running errands and cleaning up the house. Friend from Boston is in so we'll grab some beers and dinner.

Tomorrow: helping the gf make cookies all day, what a delight. Then dinner with friends.

Sunday: football all day, not much else planned.
 
Having my first weekend properly off for AGES, which probably means I'll end up very very very drunk. :grin:

That and I really need to start doing a bit of cleaning and decorating and stuff around the apt. for the holidays, not that I'll actually be home much during the holidays. :embarrassed:
 
OK, I'm awake now. The Bulleit rye was tasty.

Time to start replacing all the exterior door deadbolts and hand sets. $278 fucking dollars worth of locks. Merry Christmas. :annoyed:

After last week's attempted break in at the neighbor's glass door, we decided to replace the interior lever with a double keyed lock on ours. Also, time to get rid of the fucking gold hardware!

The newer locks have a Smart Key system that allows you to match the other locks in the house instead of calling a lock smith. :thu:

We had our company Christmas party this afternoon. Murder mystery dinner theatre with a ton of comedy thrown in. Resting up, then locking myself in the shop for the weekend.

make sure you get bump-proof locks..many of the newer mid-range and up sets are but it's always good to make sure.
